White Knuckles and Gold Medal for U.S. Team

Holcomb piloted USA-1 to the first gold medal for the United States in the four-man competition in 62 years. Patrick Henry Martin last won gold for the United States, at the St. Moritz Games in 1948. Martin's win capped an Americana run of three gold medals in four Olympics, a feat unmatched until USA-1 revitalized itself and reappeared on Saturday.
